According to Di Marzio, Juventus have finalized their goalkeeper choice, signing Vicario, but he was not Juventus's first target.

Vicario was not the first choice

"Juventus first tried to sign Alisson. When club director Otolini went to Liverpool to negotiate, he had already reached an agreement with the player and his family, and even the jersey number had been chosen. However, Liverpool initially seemed willing to let him go, but later, due to a change of coach and Mohamed Salah's departure, they decided they did not want to start the new season without these two core players, Alisson and Van Dijk."

Other options

"After leaving Liverpool, Juventus went to Birmingham and realized that E. Martinez wanted to try a new experience. As the World Cup was still ongoing, he did not give enough impetus to accept more favorable economic conditions. Then there were rumors of a finger injury." Next was Zion Suzuki, who is now close to Aston Villa, and finally, Juventus also turned their attention to Vicario: "He is a very serious young man who waited for his opportunity and also waited for the right time to say 'yes' to Juventus. He also waited for Tottenham Hotspur to agree to a loan, so Juventus decisively made a move at the right time. After all, he is still the Italian national team's goalkeeper, and the data supports him."
